Can please someone run this little script that should output characters like
¾æè¹ð in an image.
If it does it correctly can you tell me what OS, python version & PIL
version you have?
Or better if someone can tell me why this is not working properly on my PC?
(Win XP, PIL 1.1.6., Python 2.6...)
I don't recive any error it's just that the characters outputed in the image
are not characters... more like symbols...
# encoding:utf-8
from PIL import Image
import ImageDraw
import ImageFont
img = Image.new("RGBA",(250,40))
#----------------------------------- making the image transparent
pixdata = img.load()
for y in xrange(img.size[1]):
for x in xrange(img.size[0]):
if pixdata[x, y] == (255, 255, 255, 255):
pixdata[x, y] = (255, 255, 255, 0)
#--------------------------------- drawing text
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
arial = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf",32) # needs path to font, my font
was in the same folder as the script
string = "proba test ¾æèð¹"
draw.text((20,8),string ,font=arial, fill="red")
# write
img.save("img2.png", "PNG")
